And I would be scuritnized and made to answer 20 questions to
even get to England. Heck, returnng from India once, weather had
caused us to misss the connectng flight to the US, and we were stuck
in Schipol for 22 hours, I saw the authorities *refuse* let a family
from Bangladesh go to the airline provided Hotel (though they had a
US Green Card and passage on the flight the next day). This though
they were travelling with a baby and small children, and the airport
is not geared for long stays (no place to sleep, etc).
Since US develoeprs were not invited to these sekrit european
meetings, perhaps the INS issue can be dimissed equally high
handedly.

Do we even have Cuban developers? And do we have cuban dpkg
developers? (hint: we have a Texan who develops dpkg)
